Casualties and losses
Qin suffered a major defeat, which was rare in the late Warring States period. Zhao slightly recovered from the Battle of Changping and managed to survive for several more decades.

The Battle of Handan began in 259 BC and concluded in 257 BC, during which the garrison of Handan, the capital city of Zhao, joined by the allied force of Wei and Chu, defeated the invading army of Qin. It was one of the most remarkable failures of the Qin army after the Reform of Shang Yang.
